To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, GEORGE L. CAMPBELL and HARRY G. DAVIS, citizens ofthe United States, and residents of lVilliamsport, Lycoming county,Pennsylvania, have made certain new and useful Inventions Relating toTelegraph Bulletin-Printers, of which the following is a specification,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of thesame.

This invention relates to telegraph bulletin printers and relatesespecially to telegraph printers suitable for use in printing newspaperbulletins and the like in page -orm on a continuous web of paper and inwhich the type may be as large as several inches in height, suchprinters being controlled if desired by a single electrical circuit overwhich well known alternating or other electrical impulses are sent outfrom a transmitting instrument.

In the accompanying drawings showing in a somewhat diagrammatic manneran illustrative embodiment of this invention and in which the samereference numeral refers to similar parts in the several figures, Figurel is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a partialside sectional view showing the inking devices. lP ig. 4 is an enlargedtransverse sectional view showing the index latching and printingdevices. Fig. 5 is a detail view showing the type shaft friction clutch.Fig. 6 is a detail view showing the latching devices. Fig. 7 is a detailview showing the feed and return gear. Fig. 8 is a detail side sectionshowing printing and actuating devices. Fig. t) is a partial front viewthereof. Fig. 10 is a detail showing the contact plate and arm; and Fig.11 is a circuit diagram.

In the illustrative embodiment of this invention shown in the drawings arigid frame for the machine mayY he formed of the side pieces GO, ('33connected by suitable transverse braces. including the feed rail 190 adjacent the bottom, as shown in Fig. 1. The shaft 20T of the web roll1Q? may as indicated in Fig. 2 be mounted on suitable bearings such asthe friction rolls 125 supported in brackets on the frame. Thecontinuous paper web 63 which may have a width of several feet ifdesired is preferably' led around a suitable floating or other tensiondevice, such for example, as the tension roll 85 mounted in suitablearms 36 on the shaft 176 which may be loosely mounted in bearings in theframe so as to allow this floating roll to oscillate freely in the webloop. A brake 39 of any desired description may be mounted to cooperatewith a suitable brake drum 180 on the web roll shaft 297 and the brakerod 37 may be pivotally or otherwise connected with the brake and have asuitable adjustable spring 38 normally holding the brake in engagementwith the drum with the desired force. As the paper web 03 is withdrawnby suitable feeding devices the loop in which the floating tension rollSrests is shortened and the tension roll raised until its swinging arm 36engages the brake rod and lifts the rod and connected brake free fromthe drum, whereupon the weight of the tension roll withdraws additionalpaper from the web roll until the brake again comes into engagement. Inthis way the paper is always kept under a definite tension and theundesirable strains incident to starting a large roll of aper areavoided.

As is indicated in Fig. et, the paper web may be passed over the guiderod 195 and under the printing platen cooperating with the type wheel 50carrying the printi'xig characters. Then the paper web after ass.- ingaround the roll 79 may be carrie upward to form an exposed bulletin face(35 of the desired extent and then pass over thc feed roll 135. Theshaft 197 of this roll mounted adjacent the up er end of the frame maycarry the feediing' ratchet 133 with which the holding pawl 1236 mayengage and also the feeding' pawl 134i mounted on a feed arm 194swinging about the shaft 19T so as to intermittently feed the paperforward an amount corresponding to ay line of the printed matter. Agripping roll 132 ma)7 be mounted in suitable grip levers 131 on theframe and forced against the feed roll to the desired extentl to give agoed gripping action thereto` this gripping roll being held inadjustment by a suitable wing nut 196 shown in dotted lilies in F ig. Q.The paper web may if desired be disposed of by being wound upon thewinding roll 19.9 having the winding shaft 198 mounted in the frame andprovided with a suitable frictional drive connected with the feed rollor other part of the machine.

The Windingpulleyi 61 loose on the winding shaft 128 is indicated inFig. 1 as having the friction clutch or disk 162 pressed intoengageinent therewith by a suitablespring so that the belt 163connecting this winding pulley with a corresponding pulley 16st on theshaft 197 of the feed roll tends to overwiiid the winding shaft androll, suitable slip taking place at the friction clutch so that the webis always wound on the winding roll 129 as fast as delivered by the feedroll and kept at the desired tension.

The type shaft 58 may be mounted in suit able bearings in the machineframe and carry rigidly secured thereto the index wheel 33 adjacent oneend and a suitable contact arm 51 adjacent the other if desired, thisarni as indicated in Figs. and 11 being provided with the desired numberof suitable contact springs to cooperate with the annu- J lar rows ofcontacts on the contact plate or selector.

and contact springs are preferably mounted so that each contact mayoccupy a greater as 108, 109 may of course operate the escape` angularspace and thus permit the more rapid operation of the machine. For thesaine reason the index devices are also preterably provided with aplurality of annularly arranged rows of stop devices, such as the stoppins 32 and 57, for example, which as indicated may be arranged oneither side of a single index wheel if desired, which may also beprovided with a corresponding number of notches 222 adjacent itsperiphery as indicated in Fig. f1.

As indicated in Fig. 11 the contact spring lOl may cooperate with theinner ring of contacts and the contact spring 103 also mounted on thecontact arm 51 may similarly cooperate with the outer ring of condeviceson the index wheel. The sunflower controller, however, is preferablyprovided with several additional control .wcontacts which may asindicated in Fig. 11 be wired directly to the control devices of themachine, such for example, as the motor controlling magnets and 157 forholding the switch lever 102 in such position as to coinplete thecircuit between suitable contacts 158 and 1(30 in the motor power orcontrol circuit 159. 101. Similar contacts from the controller may alsooperate the paper feed magnet 35, the spacing magnet 113and so forth.rThis controller is of the regular suntlower construction employed inprinting telegraphy having the escapemciit ratchet.

; 110 to operate. the controller arni 112 engaging the ring of contacts100, all the contacts of the selector or contact plates being D ofcourseconnected by the wiresI with A luralit i of rings of contacts thecorresponding number of the controller contacts. Suitable escapementmagnets, such ment pawl 111 to allow the controller arm 112 to rotatearound the contacts when the cscapeinent magnets are actuated by theintermittent or alternating electrical impulses usually employed. Suchimpulses may be sent out over the line wires 143, 144 connected to anumber of printers to be simultaneouslyactuated by transmitting mechlanism diagrammatically indicated in Fig.

l1 as comprising a pin cylinder 145 having a spirally arranged series ofpins on its petacts 106 of the selector. rthe spring 1023 5 may asindicated be connected with the commutator ring 52 with which the brush523 eugages to energize the latch magnet 5t and in a similar way thecontact spring 10-1 may be connected with the con'iniutator ring 52 withwhich the brush 53 engages to energize the latch magnet 54 at thedesired time.

As indicated in Fig. 1, the type wheel 5t) may be slidingly mounted onthe type shaft 5S and be rotated in unison therewith by the splinescooperating with corresponding slots in the hub ot' the type wheel, asshown riphery corresponding to the number of contacts on the controller.This cylinder is connected with a drive pulley 18S through the pinion154 and gear 152 having a friction clutch connection with the shaft ofthe pin cylinder so that this cylinder normally tends to rotate and iscontinuously rotated except when one of its pins is engaged by thecorrespending key of tbe key-board` only one hey being indicated. Thispin cylinder may be geared or otherwise connected with a suitablecommutator 146 engaged by the brushes 177, 1.78 supplied with. currentfrom a gencrater 14:9 through a circuit in which the resistances 174 arenormally included. The brushes 170, bearing on this coininutator 140thus normally send out over the line wires 143, lill alternatingimpulses of modcrate intensity sutiicient to actuate the sunber ofcontacts on the selector and with the number of stop pins, notches orother stop flower controllers on each instrument connected with theline. The pulle}l 188 also may be similarly connected with theoperatingl .shaft 187 on which the connnutator 147 and detent wheel .14Sare mounted and normally tend to rotate. The. operating magH net 181 inthe line circuit is connected with the spring-actuated pawl '182cooperating with the detent so as to accurately stop the detent andcommutator at intervals of a partial revoliition. The brushes 1.83, 184as indicated are connected in shunt around the l (ltl clutch lever andbrought into engagement l with the clutch lever on the return clutch loperativelv engaging the return clutch shell To with the feed shaft 165and rotating the same in the, direction indicated by the ar- E row torapidly return the type wheel and its i feed carriage to the l e;i'i1inine` ot' the liue. rl`hereu11ion the engagement o'l the callar 1Tby the stop 1S throws the control bar and control lever in the otherdirection, returnf ing the clutch lever 2 to the position indicated inthe drawings so that the shifter Ti' is brought back into engagementwith the feed clutch shell T5 which is once more clutched to the feedshaft 103 'for regular 3 feeding when the feed clutch latch 8 isdetached.

The stopping or latching devices eoiperating with the index wheel maycomprise the latch plate 91 pivoted about the pin h5 in the extension orbracket Jl ot` the frame. as indicated in Figs. t and G. This latchplate may carry one or more latches 5G, 5G pivoted thereto andyieldingly pressed inward by a suitable spring, such as 103.` Suitablelatch magnets l, 5l may be mounted on the latch plate and provided withpivoted armatures normally held up in retracted position by suitablesprings, suf-h as 102, in which position the upward extcn- 4 .siens ot`the varmatures rest below the lower extensions or tails 130. 13? of thelatches so as to hold them in the disengaged inoper :nire position shownin Fig. t'. The latch plate may he connected with any desiredcushioning' device such as the cushioning cylinder (30, the piston inwhich may have its connected cushioning' rod flo connected with thelatch plate by the pivotetl link 18 hewn in Fig. l, a suitable spring101 engaging' the outlet end U3 and nornially tcnding to return thecushioningl rod and connectcd piston into thel position indicated` thecushioning action on the piston being of course adjusted by thethrottling or vadjusting valve G1.

When through the controller and lector devices previously described inconnection with Fig.. 11 one ot` the selector contacts 10G for instanceis energized, the spring' 102) carried b v the contact arm 51 i and theconnected latch magnet 5t is correspondingly energized when the contact.spring passes into ei'igagement with the energized contact. This latchmagnet thereupon instantly draws down itsl armature rei leasing thelatch 5G which innnediatelyv swings inward into the path oic the stoppin t The if? on that side otl the index wheel 313.

' .stop piu swings the latch and connected latch plate outward, theinertia of the index and type wheels and connected parts being absorbedin the cushioning devices, so that the type wheel is quickly brought toa stop without undesirable shock, any desired form l drive shaft G5.

of connection between the cushioning devices, such as the cam 9i' onthercnshioning rod 9G, serving to force upward into the correspondingnotch 222 in the index wheel the locking pawl 4T which may be pivotallymounted on the pin 221 in the projection 9&2 of the trame. As thelocking pawl 47 rises s it. carriesI up the printing hook 121 normallyloosely hooked over this pawl as indicated iu Figs. et and 9, this hookbeing pivotally or otherwise loosely connected with the hook lever 126as shown in Figs. 4 and 9, this lever 126 being secured to the sleeve119, the.

l other end of which carries the printing latch 11T cooperating with theone-revolution stop printing clutch 118 cooperating with the lVhen thislatch is released the stop clutch automatically clutches the looseextension or cam shaft 223 with the drive shaft so as to make onerevolution therewith, the cam S8 on this shaft engaging and forcing downthe inner end of the latch detacher against its setting spring 101 sothat its outer end rises and engages the l tail of the latch which hasbeen operated and forces the same upward so as to swing thecorresponding latch outward into the inoperative position indicated inFig. G, so that the corresponding armature can swing upward and hold itin this position. The releasing pin 224 mounted on this cani shaftthereupon engages the hook finger 183 swinging the hook 121 outward awayfrom the locking pawl, the cam 49 on this cam shaft also oscillating thelever actuator 48 shown in Figs. 8 and .l. The printing eccentric il onthe cam shaftv is also simultaneously open ated oscillating theeccentric rod 4st and connected printing har Q1. mounted in the trame asindicated in Figs. 1 and A4. The link S25 serves to connect'J the upperend oi this bar 2l with the rock lever 26 pivoted to the printing rod 2Tto operate the toggle levers Q9 connected with the printing platen U2 atvarious points along the same so as to :torce this printing platen andthe paper beneath the same as indicated in Fie. 4 down into printingengagement with the cooperating type on the type, wheel 50. It desired,a

1 .suitable aliner may be employed to insure the accurate alinement ofthe index and type wheels and it desired a pivoted almer 31 may be usedt'or this purpose and may be operated by a suitable connection, such asthe pin 89 on the printing bar 24e projecting through a suitable slot 88in the 'trame member and cooperating with a suitable slot in the alinerto force the same downward so that the inclined notches 124.-, 125 oneither side ot' the wheel are adapted to coperate with the stop pins 57thereon and Vtorce them into the narrow upper portions of these notchesin which they lie When the printing contact takes place. The latchplate, after the release of the operating latch as indilGll lllO

its.;

cated, is of course forced backward into its l normal position indicatedin Fig. 4 by the cushioning spring 104 and the locking pawl g 47descends after the cam 97 has been disl engaged therefrom so that theprinting hook l 121 may be swung into'place over the same 1 as indicatedin Fig. 9 by a suitable spring shown in dotted lines.

The actuating lever 48 which as indicated is oscillated every time acharacter is printed is provided with a free end normally prot jectingbeneath the feed hook 6 shown in l l1`ig. 1 and `somewhatdiagrammatically in Fig. 8. This feed hook is pivoted at itslv lower endto the feed hook lever 7 loosely engaging at its lower end the feedvbar116 i shown in Figs. 1 and 7, this feed barcarrying at its outer end thefeed clutch latch 8 and thus withdrawing the same from engagement withthe feed stop clutch 283 when the actuating lever 48 is oscillated, soas to i feed forward the type wheel and its car riage one space everytime a character is printed. The spacing magnet 113 indicated in Fig. 7also causes a similar spacing when actuated by the corresponding contacton the sunflower controller. This magnet or solengid may have itsarmature pivotally` connected with the spacing bar 114 normally pressedinto engagement with the detaching pin 202 and spacing lever 115 havingitsl other end loosely connected with the feed l bar 110 by beinglocated in a suitable notch or slot therein, as illustrated in Fig. 11.The feed bar is thus longitudinally moved to cause the type wheel andcarriage to be t carried forward one space when the spacing 5 magnet isactuated, the spacing bar 114 being disengaged from the spacing leverwhen l the detaching incline 203 engages the detaching pin 202 so as toswing the bar outward against the action of its spring.

In order to prevent the actuation of the .spacing magnet and connectionsjust described when the type wheel and carriage are l at the end of theline a suitable safety device may be employed in the form of the feedsafety bar indicated in Figs. 1, 7 and l 11. as being pivotallyconnected to the con- 1 trol lever 1. This bar 20 may be provided withsuitable projectionsl or lugs loosely engaging the lower end of thespacing bar 114 so as to swing the same out of engagement with thespacing lever 115 when the control lever has been swung outward by thecontrol bar 16 as the feed carriage and type wheel roach the end of theline. Under these circumstances, the safety feed bar 20 will also engageand close the spring contacts 142 so that if under these conditions thecon troller arm 112 assumed the position indicated in Fig. 11 to actuatcthe Ispacing magnet, the spacing bar actuated by this magnet I would beprevented from operating the feed bar and space feed and the closure ofthel contacts 142 vwould thereupon energize the paper feed magnet tofeed the paper up' one line and return the feed carriage and" tating thefeed roll 135 is pivoted by the pin 195 to the connector 23 which ma bepivoted at its lower end to the feed lever 191 mounted on the pin 192inthe frame and carrying a suitable cam follower 193 at its lower end tocopcrate with the feed Cam so that for every revolution of the feed camthe feed arm will be oseillated and the feed roll advanced through thespace of one printed line. The feed cam 40 as indicated in Figs. 8 and 9is operated by a one-revolution stop clutch 4G of any desired construetion whenever the paper feed clutch lever 42 is withdrawn from the pawl41 of the clutch. The arm 13 of this lever 42 pivoted to the framecooperates as indicated in Fig. 1 with the paper feed bar 34 having ifdesired a pivotal connection with the armature of the paper feed magnet435 so as to give it a momentary oscillation when the magnet is energizedin the same general way as the spacing magnet described. The upperlateral extension of the hook bar 14 indicated in Fig. 1 as slidinglymounted on the frame member rests` as is indicated over the paper feedlever 191 so that when this lever is actuated the hook bar is raised andsimilarly raises the clutch lever hook 3 pivoted by the pin 4 to theextension of the return clutch lever 2. In this way when the paper isfed up a line the return clutch is operated by its lever and the typewheel and carriage return to the beginning of the line. In order g toprevent a. feed of the carriage in this dii rection when the feedcarriage has already been returned to the beginning of the line as whenthe paper is being fed up a number of lines to exhibit the printedmatter thereon, a suitable return guard may be provided in the form, forinstance, of the projecting guard or finger 5 shown in dotted lines inFig. 1 secured to the lower depending end of the clutch lever hook 3 andin the path of the feed carriage. Thus when the feed carriage is at thebeginning of the line the return guard is engaged thereby and the clutchlever hook swung about its pin 4 so that its upper end is swung out ofthe path of the hook bar 14 and kept in this inoperative position solong as the feed carriage is at the beginning of the line.

ln the position indicated in Fig. '1, the end of the actuating lever 48lies as indicated beneath the feed hook 6 so that as described theoscillation of this actuating t lever when any letter 1s printed raisesthe feed hook and advances the feed carriage and type wheel one spacealong the line.

-the lastspace in the line the collar 19 on lVhen, however, the carriagehas reached l the control bar is engaged by the stop 1S. therebyslightly moving the control bar ld and connected control lever 1, thepin S3 swinging in the slot 84 in the return clutch lever 2 withoutmoving the lever. This movement of the controtl lever correspondinglymoves the links 9 and 1l pivoted to 1 the feed hook (i and to the paperfeed hook l 12 whose upper end is pivoted to the paper i feed clutchlever 4Q, 18. In this way these hooks are laterallyT displaced to asufficient l extent so that the end of the actuating leve;` 4.8 when itrises engages the paper feed hook 12 instead of the feed hook G. Thuswhen a character is rinted at the end of the'line i instead of feet ingforward the type wheel and carriage another siace, the paper feedmechanism is actuated hy the actuating lever 48 through the connectionsdescribed and, the return clutch mechanism is also operated through hookbar l-t, clutch lever hook 3 and return clutch lever Q so as to returnthe carriage to the beginning of the line. l

Any desired inlting mechanism may he employed to properly ink thecharacter printed upon the web. If desired, this may ie accomplished bykeeping the characters on the type wheel constantly inked by suitableinking devices mounted on the carriage and indicated in Fig. 3. The inkfountain 166 is shown as supported from the cariiage 138 and providedwith a supply roll 120 journaled within the saine. rl`hc inlting t roll122 may as indicated be loosely jonrnaled in the fountain by having itsjournals mounted in suitable slots therein so that it can properlyengage the type wheel charl acters whenever for example the doctor rolll' engages the saine, this doctor roll heilig if desired mounted insuitable swinging arms 12st and pressed between the supply and inkingrolls by the springs 12?.

Having described this invention in connection with an illustrativeembodiment thereof, to the details of which disclosure the invention isnot of course to be limited, what is claimed as new and what is desiredto be secured by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
